Click on the “Edit” tab on the top menu bar.Press the “Command” and “A” keys to select the picture.Double-click on the picture to open it in the Preview app.Locate the picture that you want to use for the folder icon.The edited right-click option, to be used as a nautilus (right-click) script #!/usr/bin/env python3įor c in "), ("%5E", "^"),Ĭurrent = fix(os.getenv("NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI"))Ĭreate, if it doesn't exist yet, the directory ~/.local/share/nautilus/scriptsĬopy the script into an empty file, save it in ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts as set_foldericons (no extension!), and make it executable.To change the folder icon on a Mac to a picture, follow the steps below: Run it with the targeted directory as an argument: python3 /path/to/change_icon.py Ģ. Also set the preferred list of filenames. In the head of the script, edit, if you like, the list of extensions to be used as valid icon images.Copy the script into an empty file, save it as change_icon.py."file://"+os.path.abspath(os.path.join(folder, first)) Os.path.abspath(folder), "metadata::custom-icon", # retrieve the path of the targeted folder # - use quotes, *don't* include the dot!Įxt = # - set the list of valid extensions below (lowercase) To be used with the targeted directory as argument: #!/usr/bin/env python3 So that the script first tries to find (file) matches in the list specs, (only) if there are no, it jumps to searching for matching extension, and does the trick if it finds a suitable image. P for p in fls if p.split(".").lower() in ext I added a predefined list to the head section: specs = įirst = min(p for p in os.listdir(folder) I might still "elegant it up a bit" but below are the edited versions of the linked ones. If NOT found then find predefined extension and set it as folder icon and move to next folder.If found set it as folder icon and move to next folder.Or better yet make both approaches work in a single script Instead of being extension based, if it became filename based and targeted one (for example, folder.png) or multiple (eg albumart.png cover.png) filenames then this problem could be solved. There might be a few directories which contain a of lot of image files and the first image file in that directory might not be well suited to being the folder icon. It works great for many scenarios, and setting up this script is usually the first thing I do after fresh install (because it's amazing). Basically it tries to find an image file inside the folder, and the first image that it finds is set as a folder icon. It works on multiple folders, recursively. ico extensions and sets them as the folder icon of the folder in which the file was found. The question linked above has an answer consisting a script which has been working for me. How to set the first picture of every folder as its folder icon?
